A New Method For The Quantitative Determination Of Plankton Hauls, Henry B. Ward

Studies from the Zoological Laboratory: The University of Nebraska

Only two methods of estimating the quantity of plankton obtained in a haul of the vertical net are known to me. These two may be called the volumetric and the gravimetric. Both have been used by observers in various parts of the world, but so far as I know have never been comparatively tested in order to ascertain the relative value of results obtained by the two.
